The Poissonization conjecture for block-beta random polytopes

For nNn\in\mathbb{N}, let NnN_n be a Poisson random variable with parameter nn, and let PNn,d\bbbeta\mathcal{P}_{N_n,d}^{\bbbeta} and Pn,d\bbbeta\mathcal{P}_{n,d}^{\bbbeta} denote the corresponding block-beta random polytopes. Poissonization conjecture.

Efd1(PNn,d\bbbeta)Efd1(Pn,d\bbbeta).\mathbb{E}f_{d-1}(\mathcal{P}_{N_n,d}^{\bbbeta})\asymp\mathbb{E}f_{d-1}(\mathcal{P}_{n,d}^{\bbbeta}).

The conjecture asks whether the asymptotic facet-number estimate for a deterministic sample size persists when the sample size is Poisson with mean nn; this is not proved in the paper.
